Physics sets unforgiving limits on how fast anything can move, yet the same laws also leave surprising room for creative ways to cross the gulf between stars. The real question is not whether the ...

Aalto researchers have used an IBM quantum computer to explore an overlooked area of physics, and have challenged 100 year old cherished notions about information at the quantum level. The rules of ...

Physicists at NYU have discovered a new type of time crystal—an exotic state of matter whose particles rhythmically “tick” while levitating on sound waves.

The most extreme fireworks in the universe are supposed to follow rules. Gamma-ray bursts, the brightest explosions known, are neatly sorted into categories, each tied to a familiar kind of cosmic ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...
